I had a chance to finish a new purse design this weekend, despite being down with the flu on Friday & Saturday... :( I have had this one cut out for a week or so...just didn't know what direction I was going with it...because I could have done a thing or two different than what I did...however, I am loving it the way it ended up! :) Most of the ruffles you will recognize from another project...they were left over scraps...and the black fabric came from a nice, lightweight denim skirt I purchased at Goodwill, which will give me plenty of fabric for a few more purses! Bonus!! The front and back are identical....a nice, deep, pocket under all those ruffles for your cell, bills...or whatever you need to stick someplace...fast! I love this design...was actually quite simple to do, so there might be a few more in the future!

Kim, this is just so pretty and the ruffles add that extra special touch to it. Beautiful color combination also! Is this you own pattern idea?
